NAME
lambda2_searchp - the Local Aligner for Massive Biological DatA
SYNOPSIS
lambda2 searchp [OPTIONS] -q QUERY.fasta -i INDEX.lambda [-o output.m8]
DESCRIPTION
Lambda is a local aligner optimized for many query sequences and searches in protein
space. It is compatible to BLAST, but much faster than BLAST and many other comparable
tools.
Detailed information is available in the wiki: <https://github.com/seqan/lambda/wiki>
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display the help message.
-hh, --full-help
Display the help message with advanced options.
--version
Display version information.
--copyright
Display long copyright information.
-v, --verbosity INTEGER
Display more/less diagnostic output during operation: 0 [only errors]; 1 [default];
2 [+run-time, options and statistics]. In range [0..2]. Default: 1.
Input Options:
-q, --query INPUT_FILE
Query sequences. Valid filetypes are: .sam[.*], .raw[.*], .gbk[.*], .frn[.*],
.fq[.*], .fna[.*], .ffn[.*], .fastq[.*], .fasta[.*], .faa[.*], .fa[.*], .embl[.*],
and .bam, where * is any of the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for
transparent (de)compression.
-a, --input-alphabet STRING
Alphabet of the query sequences (specify to override auto-detection). Dna sequences
will be translated. One of auto, dna5, and aminoacid. Default: auto.
-g, --genetic-code INTEGER
The translation table to use if input is Dna. See
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Utils/wprintgc.cgi?mode=c for ids. Default is
to use the same table that was used for the index or 1/CANONICAL if the index was
not translated. Default: 0.
-i, --index INPUT_DIRECTORY
The database index (created by the 'lambda mkindexp' command). Valid filetype is:
.lambda.
Output Options:
-o, --output OUTPUT_FILE
File to hold reports on hits (.m* are blastall -m* formats; .m8 is tab-seperated,
.m9 is tab-seperated with with comments, .m0 is pairwise format). Valid filetypes
are: .sam[.*], .m9[.*], .m8[.*], .m0[.*], and .bam, where * is any of the following
extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression. Default: output.m8.
--output-columns STRING
Print specified column combination and/or order (.m8 and .m9 outputs only); call
-oc help for more details. Default: std.
--percent-identity INTEGER
Output only matches above this threshold (checked before e-value check). In range
[0..100]. Default: 0.
-e, --e-value DOUBLE
Output only matches that score below this threshold. In range [0..100]. Default:
1e-04.
-n, --num-matches INTEGER
Print at most this number of matches per query. In range [1..10000]. Default: 256.
--sam-with-refheader BOOL
BAM files require all subject names to be written to the header. For SAM this is
not required, so Lambda does not automatically do it to save space (especially for
protein database this is a lot!). If you still want them with SAM, e.g. for better
BAM compatibility, use this option. One of 1, ON, TRUE, T, YES, 0, OFF, FALSE, F,
and NO. Default: off.
--sam-bam-seq STRING
For BLASTX and TBLASTX the matching protein sequence is "untranslated" and
positions retransformed to the original sequence. For BLASTP and TBLASTN there is
no DNA sequence so a "*" is written to the SEQ column. The matching protein
sequence can be written as an optional tag, see --sam-bam-tags. If set to uniq than
the sequence is omitted iff it is identical to the previous match's subsequence.
One of always, uniq, and never. Default: uniq.
--sam-bam-tags STRING
Write the specified optional columns to the SAM/BAM file. Call --sam-bam-tags help
for more details. Default: AS NM ae ai qf.
--sam-bam-clip STRING
Whether to hard-clip or soft-clip the regions beyond the local match. Soft-clipping
retains the full sequence in the output file, but obviously uses more space. One of
hard and soft. Default: hard.
General Options:
-t, --threads INTEGER
number of threads to run concurrently. Default: autodetected.
Seeding / Filtration:
--adaptive-seeding BOOL
Grow the seed if it has too many hits (low complexity filter). One of 1, ON, TRUE,
T, YES, 0, OFF, FALSE, F, and NO. Default: on.
--seed-length INTEGER
Length of the seeds. In range [3..50]. Default: 10.
--seed-offset INTEGER
Offset for seeding (if unset = seed-length/2). In range [1..50]. Default: 5.
--seed-delta INTEGER
maximum seed distance. In range [0..1]. Default: 1.
--seed-delta-increases-length BOOL
Seed delta increases the min. seed length (for affected seeds). One of 1, ON, TRUE,
T, YES, 0, OFF, FALSE, F, and NO. Default: off.
--seed-half-exact BOOL
Allow errors only in second half of seed. One of 1, ON, TRUE, T, YES, 0, OFF,
FALSE, F, and NO. Default: on.
Miscellaneous Heuristics:
--pre-scoring INTEGER
evaluate score of a region NUM times the size of the seed before extension (0 -> no
pre-scoring, 1 -> evaluate seed, n-> area around seed, as well; default = 1 if no
reduction is used). In range [1..10]. Default: 2.
--pre-scoring-threshold DOUBLE
minimum average score per position in pre-scoring region. In range [0..20].
Default: 2.
--filter-putative-duplicates BOOL
filter hits that will likely duplicate a match already found. One of 1, ON, TRUE,
T, YES, 0, OFF, FALSE, F, and NO. Default: on.
--filter-putative-abundant BOOL
If the maximum number of matches per query are found already, stop searching if the
remaining realm looks unfeasible. One of 1, ON, TRUE, T, YES, 0, OFF, FALSE, F, and
NO. Default: on.
--merge-putative-siblings BOOL
Merge seed from one region, stop searching if the remaining realm looks unfeasable.
One of 1, ON, TRUE, T, YES, 0, OFF, FALSE, F, and NO. Default: on.
Scoring:
-s, --scoring-scheme INTEGER
use '45' for Blosum45; '62' for Blosum62 (default); '80' for Blosum80. Default: 62.
--score-gap INTEGER
Score per gap character. In range [-1000..1000]. Default: -1.
--score-gap-open INTEGER
Additional cost for opening gap. In range [-1000..1000]. Default: -11.
Extension:
-x, --x-drop INTEGER
Stop Banded extension if score x below the maximum seen (-1 means no xdrop). In
range [-1..1000]. Default: 30.
-b, --band INTEGER
Size of the DP-band used in extension (-3 means log2 of query length; -2 means sqrt
of query length; -1 means full dp; n means band of size 2n+1) In range [-3..1000].
Default: -3.
-m, --extension-mode STRING
Choice of extension algorithms. One of auto, xdrop, and fullSerial. Default: auto.
TUNING
Tuning the seeding parameters and (de)activating alphabet reduction has a strong influence
on both speed and sensitivity. We recommend the following alternative profiles for protein
searches:
fast (high similarity): --seed-delta-increases-length on
sensitive (lower similarity): --seed-offset 3
